The paper shows that neurons prefer cap-independent RAN translation from specific repeats, linked to altered start codon stringency and eIF1 redistribution.

This study shows that AAGGG repeat expansions cause synaptic defects in CANVAS neurons independently of RFC1, with phenotypes corrected by repeat deletion.

This study identifies a cortico-cortical pathway in mice that targets inhibitory interneurons in non-whisker S1 areas and modulates hind paw movement during locomotion.
